Installation/Uninstallation

The installer that ran when you downloaded this plug-in from Autodesk Exchange Apps has already installed the plug-in. You may need to restart the Autodesk product to activate the plug-in. To uninstall this plug-in, click Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features (Windows 7/8/8.1) or Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Windows XP), and uninstall as you would any other application from your system.

Additional Information

The application can be used with vanilla AutoCAD or any other AutoCAD vertical application like Autodesk® AutoCAD® Map 3D, Autodesk® AutoCAD® Civil 3D®, Autodesk® AutoCAD® Architecture enz.

Known Issues

If no world-file is supplied or the world file is not in the same folder as the image the application will not find the world file and will not insert the image.

If no image is displayed it could be that the units in the drawing are not setup correctly. Check your units.

Drag and Drop from Windows Explorer into AutoCAD Window only works when GeoRefInsert is started once.

If drag and drop doesn't work, this is due to Lapis Geofinder 2.26 is loaded as well. This will be resolved in later versions.
